Homeowners can receive substantial savings for outfitting their homes with windstorm mitigation features that withstand or are more resistant to high winds.

A Home Insurance Hazard Assessment, also known as a 4-Point Inspection, serves to detect various potential risks that could affect your homeowner’s insurance policy. In recent times, insurance providers have grown more cautious about extending coverage to older residences, typically those aged 25 years or older. Their primary worry revolves around the possibility of latent issues within older homes, which might pose financial liabilities for them. Left unattended, these issues could lead to rising insurance expenses or even the risk of policy cancellation. Addressing these hazards has the potential to reduce your insurance premiums, resulting in long-term cost savings for you.
